Chapter 324: Speculations on Strength
The height of Hogwarts is indeed not something that ordinary people can climb up. At least for Hermione, it is a long flight of stairs to get back to the tallest tower from outside the castle.
Hermione was slightly panting. The high-intensity task of climbing stairs was indeed beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, not to mention that she was still a girl.
And Fan Lin seemed particularly comfortable in Hermione's arms. During this constant distance, he was wrapped in a warm embrace, and he was even a little comfortable and reluctant to get up. Accompanied by bursts of fatigue, Fan Lin even took a nap. After a while, of course this was the result of Hermione deliberately slowing down.
However, the beautiful scenery does not last long. When the long stairs always reach the end, a biting cold wind blows over, bringing Fan Lin back to reality from the wonderful dream.
Before Fan Lin opened his eyes, Dumbledore's voice came over.
"Oh, Miss Granger, you are finally back. Have you brought our little guest?"
Dumbledore said that Cornelius Fudge and Professor Snape's faces were gloomy, and it seemed that they were disgusted with this waiting drama.
As for Harry, who was standing beside Dumbledore, he wished that Hermione would come back later. Every time he waited longer, Sirius would be able to live a little longer. As long as Fan Lin came back...
Harry followed the sound and looked toward the stairs. When he saw the white figure in Hermione's arms, he was so excited. But when Hermione walked closer, the appearance of the white object was completely exposed to Harry's eyes. Like a heavy hammer, Harry's fantasy was shattered in one fell swoop.
That's not Fanlin's Animagus, that's a cat, Harry thought, his face full of disappointment.
Sure enough, I still haven’t waited...well...
Hermione didn't notice Harry's loneliness. She tightened her arms slightly, but considering that Dumbledore obviously knew, she couldn't help but move Fan Lin's body outward.
"I...I brought it, Professor Dumbledore..." Hermione said, her face turned red and she held Fanlin up to Dumbledore.
Hermione's palms were placed under Fan Lin's two front legs. Although Fan Lin was a cat, he was still a human being in essence. He felt very awkward, being held up like this by Hermione, and then letting such a group of people Watch around.
"Oh, let me see..." Dumbledore seemed to suddenly become interested. He brought his whole face closer, and a pair of deep eyes kept scanning Fan Lin's body.
"It seems that the little guy must have spent a lot of effort to get here. He is really pitiful. Looking at the small wounds on his body, did Miss Granger help him clean them?"
"It's just a matter of simply removing the dirt..." Hermione said, thinking of Fan Lin's appearance when he just came back, Hermione felt very heartbroken.
"Professor, will he be okay..." Hermione asked cautiously. She knew that Fan Lin's wound had not healed yet, and the broken place dyed Fan Lin's hair red. Hermione immediately hugged Fan Lin. In her arms, she was very nervous, fearing that something would happen to Fanlin's body.
Before Dumbledore could speak, Snape, who was standing aside with a gloomy expression, spoke up.
"Sorry, Headmaster..." Snape's face turned gloomy, "I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you for a moment. I think dealing with Sirius's affairs should be more important than focusing on the life and death of a cat."
"I think so too, Albus!" Fudge added on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with Snape's words. This was exactly what he wanted to say that transferring Sirius back to the Ministry of Magic was the most important thing.
"Oh, yes..." Dumbledore said, "It seems like this. It is indeed more important to deal with Sirius's matter, but it can't hurt an innocent life because of it, right?"
"Perhaps we can pay attention to the life and death of a cat after we deal with Sirius, Albus!" Fudge said. He was extremely patient with Dumbledore's irrelevant delay. As the Minister of Magic, he requested Things, in Dumbledore's eyes, were not as important as the arrival of a cat.
"No, Cornelius..." Dumbledore shook his head, "I only need a little time. Sirius is where he is. He won't run away. Now it seems that my guest's injuries are even more serious." It's more serious, this is the crux of the problem..."
As Dumbledore said, Fudge's face became even more ugly. He really wanted to directly dismantle the defense system of Hogwarts, but he simply couldn't do it. The final executor was Dumbledore, and only Dumbledore could do it. Could be Dumbledore.
Dumbledore didn't seem to pay attention to Fudge's intention. He looked at the cat in Hermione's arms gently.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Granger, nothing will happen to your cat, I promise!" Dumbledore said, and he gently put his hand on Fanlin's head.
No one knew what Dumbledore's strength was, and among the people present, except Fudge. He had only seen Dumbledore take action once, and that was during the Quidditch match not long after the beginning of this semester. At that time, Harry was attacked by dementors and fell from a height of several hundred feet.
At that time, Dumbledore only stood up a little, and Harry stopped safely in mid-air.
Dumbledore didn't know what he was thinking, but he only saw his hands shining slightly. Judging from the magic aura, this was an extremely advanced healing magic.
Fan Lin could feel that the wound, which was still leaking red blood due to the collapse, became numb and numb. After only a few seconds, Fan Lin's wound quickly healed under Dumbledore's action. Scab.
This made Fan Lin feel very incredible. Basic healing magic obviously did not have such a powerful ability. Each wound required successive restoration spells according to its size to be completely healed. However, Dumbledore just stretched out his hand and even Dumbledore didn't even take out his wand.
This made Fan Lin very frightened. No wonder Dumbledore, who never used the Unforgivable Curse, could tie with Voldemort at his peak. Dumbledore's strength made Fan Lin feel very scared. He could not estimate Dumbledore before. Lido and the strength of Voldemort.
Until Dumbledore healed his wound.
Even though such a wizard has such advanced magic at his fingertips, and also holds the most powerful wand in the world, the Wand of Bones, the head of the Deathly Hallows, he is still unable to defeat Voldemort, and cannot even suppress him at all. When fighting, It was Dumbledore's side that was suppressed, and Fanlin had to re-evaluate Voldemort's strength.
He seemed to take Voldemort too simply. (To be continued)
